If the 2021NFL season goes well for Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, we might just see him back with the team again in 2022 as well. In short, don’t rule out the possibility of that happening just yet.
Steelers team president Art Rooney II indicated Tuesday during a media session that bringing the club’s longtime starting quarterback back for 2022 isn’t totally out of the question.
“It’s not written in stone that this is his last year,” Rooney said, according to Brooke Pryor of ESPN.
Roethlisberger, who turned 39 back in March, is now in his 18th NFL season and his first with Matt Canada serving as the team’s offensive coordinator, Roethlisberger took a $5 million pay cut earlier in the offseason to help the Steelers out salary-cap wise and part of that contract renegotiation included voidable years being added and all void five days after this season’s Super Bowl is played.
